In addition, Harnaam Kaur, 25, is about to be the first female with a beard to strut down a runway at London Fashion Week, but unsurprisingly, she wasn't always as confident about her facial hair as she is now.

"I still get bullied," Kaur told Guinness World Records. "I know that as a bearded lady, I will still get bullied."

When she was going through puberty, she noticed more and more hair begin growing around her neck, Kaur said.

She eventually went on to become an anti-bullying spokesperson and a body image activist, and hopes her new title in the Guinness World Records will inspire other young women to embrace their bodies, too.

"I faced such negativity in my life but the difference is now I know how to handle it," Kaur said. "I'm way more empowered now than I was back then."
